Kia ora koutou, It’s Natalie here from Whakaata Māori (formerly Māori TV) and I’m excited to tell you about this fabulous new TV show called "West Coasters".

It's an intimate documentary series that gives us a peek into the lives of a Māori community here in the rugged Te Tai ō Poutini region of the South Island. What sets it apart is its authenticity, showcasing their deep connection to the land and their dreams for the future. The Arahura River, flowing through their ancestral lands with its revered pounamu, plays a central role. It's a show that'll truly move you – don't miss it !

West Coasters – Mane Monday 7.30pm on Whakaata Māori or streaming on Māori+

1+ year old felled tress

Richard from Rangiora

Hi. Does anyone have a tree (or limbs) that has been felled a year or more ago? Tree types: apple, birch, maple, oak, alder or poplar. I don't need a lot, 2-3 big limbs would do it. This is for a Hugelkultur planter box.
Thanks.
